If you could have the talent of any other big-leaguer, who would it be?

"I suppose if I had to choose somebody, I would have wanted to be a pitcher in the 1920s or 1930s to see what it was like. Someone like Warren Spahn or Cy Young, someone like that. Who was pitching every third or fourth day to see what their routine was, their travel schedule, the whole thing about baseball back then to see what it was like."

"Roberto Clemente. Oh, he's awesome. He's raw talent. He's amazing. Arm, the ability that he had. Just an all-around great player. I saw a lot of [film] when I was in Pittsburgh. I got a chance to go down into the archives and see a lot of stuff."

"I would like to have been in the shoes of Jackie Robinson. He was a guy that went out and played the game, as we say, with a heavy heart. He loved the game, but a lot of people didn't respect him, didn't think he belonged on the field. Sometimes even now we come to the ballpark, if something's going on away from the field we bring it with us. But if you're going out every day with people sending you hate mail, saying racial slurs, and play the game the way he played it, I think is the most remarkable thing you could ever do."
